Since 2004, Giorgio Armani has translated the essence of his Armani/ Privé Haute Couture collection into four complementary fragrances: Les Eaux, La Collection, Les Terres Précieuses and Les Mille et Une Nuits. Each is an invitation to an olfactory journey through the finest ingredients.
In 2020, a new compelling and colourful chapter unfolded in the Les Eaux collection with the introduction of four floral and citrus scents conveying Giorgio Armani’s eclectic influences: Thé Yulong, Gardénia Antigua, Rose Milano and Jasmin Kusamono.
A Smoky Freshness: The Yulong
A unique encounter between green and black tea, Thé Yulong evokes a sensory journey through the Yunnan region of China. Not only is the region known for its magnificent mountainous landscape, but the black teas growing in the highest altitudes are said to be among the best black teas in the world.
Black tea brings a smokiness and woodiness to the scent, while green tea, mandarin and lime essences transform the fragrance with bursts of freshness. Created by Julie Massé (Mane), Thé Yulong balances the freshness of green tea and citrus with the intensity of black tea and smoked woods.
A Musky Breeze: Gardenia Antigua
The gardenia flower is infused with a pure, intense and sophisticated light to echo Giorgio Armani’s haven of peace, the island of Antigua. Reinterpreted by perfumer dora Baghriche (firmenich), the floral icon unveils its sunny and powdery facets. The scent opens with notes of mandarin and neroli essences. At the heart, gardenia unfurls with milky, voluptuous and addictive accents. The drydown unleashes elegance and voluptuousness with Patchouli essence, Ambrox and White Musk notes.
An exquisite composition of raw materials, Gardénia Antigua subtly translates the beauty of the Caribbean island with the delicate sunny and powdery notes of island flowers.
